Many grocery stores carry them in CA, ontherwise, when you are out of state like me, torani syrups

Unfortunately, very few of them (if any?) carry the Pumpkin spice flavor of Torani. I finally gave up and ordered some Torani from an online store complete with a pump for it.

To celebrate, I went to Starbucks.

So I ordered it online. The money came out of my account. No syrup.

Now it's on backorder as (so I'm told) Torani has experienced a higher then expected demand of it. So I'm off to Starbucks to get my fix - and then I'll put in my Vampire teeth. Otherwise they'll melt off while I drink it.

And I SHOULD have my syrup by end of this week. I'll report on whether it makes a good coffee or not.

So, I bought myself some sugar-free vanilla ice cream and a can of pumpkin. Threw a scoop of pumpkin and 2-ish scoops of ice cream into the blender, added some pumpkin pie spice, a packet of splenda, and some carb countdown milk and finally had a pumpkin spice milkshake all you people have been ranting about! Sans sucre!

Pretty darn tasty. What I'm going to do is mix the entire can of pumpkin with the ice cream, pour it back into the container and see if it freezes back into a decent consistency.

Sounds delish - although I'm more fond of the hot coffee version. Can you make that happen for me sugar free?

If you could mass produce it, you'd make a fortune!

I bought some coffeemate in Gingerbread and Eggnog flavors (2 for $5) the other day. I'm just trying the gingerbread now. It's good, but it's not the same as using the syrup from starbucks.

But, I brought this up on MC and someone said they have a Pumpkin flavor coffeemate too. I didn't see it at the store, but I have tried the pepermint which is actually good, and not too strong.

Finally rec'd my Torani syrup. It's good - but not as good as Starbucks. Damn!

Mmm...Pumpkin pie ice cream!!! I found this at TJ's 3 years ago, and they haven't had it since. Dreyer's makes it too? I must find some!

And good old Vons. Their Pumpkin Pie ice cream has bits of pie crust.

Damn you, pancreas!
